THOMAS WILLIAM SCHUSTER

I still think of him in a very special way just a friend

Just found this. 35 years ago I worked with Tom at Cameron Summer Stock in 1982. He was responsible for plucking me from an open audition which allowed me to experience a once in a life-time summer of fantasy. I was really green and he watched over me as a big brother. Grateful. Tom I know you're taking bows in God's great hall. So Bravo ! My dear friend.

You will forever live in our hearts! Your light will never burn out!

I will always remember Tom and his way of always being able to put a smile on your face! I enjoyed his acting and his comedy skits in the early days in Florence, SC. The world is a brighter place because you were in it! Your memories will live on forever. I will see you again one day! That is GOD's promise to us.

He was not only my Dentist, he was my friend. He loved to fly more than most anything else. He had a heart for people. And just a few weeks ago when I went to pick up my partials, he started telling me how to let stress go. I am a Christian & this was the first time we ever talked about letting The LORD handle what we can't. So my friend I trust to see you one day when we all get to heaven to be with OUR LORD & Savior Jesus Christ. To Helene: Love you very much & I Pray God is giving you the comfort that only He can. I will pray for you & the rest of the family. God Bless!!!

Oh my dearest heartfelt memories and sympathies to all the many close friends and family of this wonderful man...He was my big brother from the moment we met...I never had a closer friend in all my life...I grieve this day that almost a year has past and I just found out today that the world is SHOELESS....I truly loved him...may the angels and saints embrace him in eternity for the unconditional love that he gave during his life to his family and friends...this is my saddest day...

Was wondering where you were as it has been a while since Psycho.Just saw you passed,what a heart break it was to read :( YOU are so missed,your friend Kurt Paul

We all have a place in this circle of life, and I am honored to have known and loved you so early on in this life of mine. I have thought of you and missed you often...and always will my dear friend.

Tom and your mom will be greatly missed. The Schuster family were and always be my second family.i love you all so much!! Prayers and love go out to all of you.

Tom I miss you so much. You were such a great care taker of our parents and I can't thank you enough for everything you did for our family. You put your life on hold for them and us and I will forever be greatful to you for that. Everyday is a struggle knowing you have left us. I know you and mom are entertaining all of heaven. Your time was so short here with us. The only comfort I have with your loss is that I know you are with mom and in such a better place than we are. I treasure my last three days I spent with you and our comversations we had together. Thank you for the good times we had throughout your life. I Love and miss you my BIG brother.

Thomas had many, many friends and they need more time to express their love and respect for Tom and his family, especially his fiance. And, reading these comments is a comfort to me, too. So, yes, I've given us all another year to tell stories about our dear friend, Tom Schuster, because "Helping others is never more rewarding than when it's in your own self interest." (Fishism, Allie McBeal) Blessings,

Tom - we will miss you! I hope that your loved ones and friends can find comfort in the fact that you lived an amazing life. Many wonderful times together in SC, LA, NY, Miami. It's evident from these posts that you touched many people.

This news has come late to us, and we are saddened to hear it. I met Tom while shooting TV spots for a local radio station back in the early 80s - using a jell-o X! Tom embodied such imagination, humor and lust for life!!!
Many blessings to the family and all Tom's friends as we grieve. Surely the light of his life will continue to bring a smile even in memory.

So sorry for your loss, I have such fond memories of Tom from school. Have not kept in touch but seems like he had a wonderful and fun filled life.
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

My deepest sympathy to the Schuster family. I have many fond memories of Tom from the days when he was a student in my World History class ( even though other Schusters were in my Biology classes). I was so impressed with Tom's acting skills when I saw him play Stanley in the Florence Little Theater production of A Streetcar Named Desire. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers.

"To be, or not to be: that is the question: whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing end them? To die: to sleep; no more; and by a sleep to say we end the heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to,
'tis a consummation devoutly to be wish'd.
To die, to sleep; to sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub; for in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil." W.Shakespeare

So sorry for your loss. Will keep the family in our prayers.

Oh, Tom. wow. So many fun memories. the tooth of crime, Aesock, The Last Fair Deal. Riding harleys in SC. Hanging in LA. Lots of great memories. I will miss you tons, brother. I hope you have found your peace.

One of the greatest pleasures of my professional life has been working with & getting to know Tom. A cohort of over a dozen productions both on the stage and in film, Tom was a dear friend of over thirty years who enthusiastically embraced life and its adventures. I will miss his commitment to his beliefs, energy, humor, & zest for life. May God send comfort to his family & loved ones.

I am so sorry for your loss. ....May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

So sorry to hear about Toms passing.

The Thiem family, Florence, SC

Never a dull moment with Tom, only fond memories, sad loss to us all........will miss him deeply.

I will miss you so much, Thomas, my dearest longtime friend...my adopted baby brother. I will miss you...

What an awesome tribute to Tom's life! I remember watching Walker, Texas Ranger one day many years ago, and looking up to see Tom on TV! I am so glad he realized some of his dream, and had so much to enjoy. While I have not seen him in years, I will always see him as a brother, and will miss him. God bless all of you as you work through the loss of such a talented passionate friend, brother, son and person. Much love to you!

We are very sorry for your loss. Tom was such a great guy. He will be missed. Janet and Eric Sesit
